Clean For Health Calvert County

Indoor air quality is becoming a major concern to your health. Let us explain how carpet can help keep the air you breathe, cleaner. Carpet acts as a large filter, trapping bio-pollutants and contaminants removing them from the breathable air. . However, when these filters (carpet) become full of contaminants, the filters must be cleaned or replaced. Since carpet is the most expensive furnishing in your home or business, cleaning is the recommended first step. Professional cleaning of carpet and rugs not only extends the life of the carpet, but can also help extend the lives of you and your families as well. These contaminants, not thoroughly removed, have the potential to cause a variety of health problems.

Another concern, especially for those with allergies, is dust mites.

Dust mites are found in virtually all homes, no matter how clean. They live in the dust that accumulates in carpets, fabrics, upholstery and bedding.

Dust mites are arachnids, not insects they are related to spiders. They are microscopic, eight legged creatures, 0.3 mm in length, and invisible to the human eye.

A gram of dust from you home (approximately half of a teaspoon) contains as many as 1,000 dust mites. That same gram of dust holds 250,000 of their fecal pellets.
